Chapter 48: A New Life’s Bargain
Around an hour later...
Nellas and Ember were sitting in a cafe around a small round table.
Nell was holding a cup of black coffee, and his wife was sitting across from him who was also holding a cup, but hers was a normal milk tea.
There were also many pastries on the table, which were bought by Nellas for his wife because he didn’t know what she would like to eat. So, he bought one of every kind.
Sip~
Both, husband and wife, sipped their drinks simultaneously.
After drinking the milk tea, Ember placed her cup on the table, and her hand unconsciously touched her lips.
She was feeling happy, and her lips had a faint smile, which was visible on her face.
She had a pleasant time with her husband and enjoyed the breakfast he had made and now, she was drinking tea with him in a cafe.
The situation was really romantic and Ember was feeling a little embarrassed, which was visible in the slight red tint on her cheeks.
’I never thought that I would have a moment like this in my life,’
The thought crossed her mind, and she didn’t dare to believe it, because she was too poor and had a rough life.
She had never tasted good food or even been to a cafe, which was a normal thing for many people.
However, because she was born in the slums, her life was a mess and she never had the chance to experience the taste of a normal life.
"How is it?"
Suddenly, a voice entered her ears and her head moved slightly, as she nodded, "It is good but..." her voice trailed off as she struggled to finish her sentence.
"But?"
Her husband’s voice reached her ears, and she couldn’t help but blush, "...B-But, it isn’t as good as the one you made for me yesterday."
She didn’t want to lie to him, so she told the truth.
And, as soon as the words left her mouth, her husband’s heart skipped a beat, and he could feel a warm sensation enveloping his body.
’She likes my cooking, haha.’
A proud smile appeared on his face, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit happy.
’My wife loves my cooking, and I love her.’
Thinking that, he placed his hand over hers, and his fingers gently caressed the back of her palm.
"I will cook for you anytime you want,"
He said, and the girl’s cheeks turned red, as a bashful smile appeared on her face.
’C-Cute!’
Ember’s actions were really cute and innocent, and Nell couldn’t help but stare at her.
The sun rays filtering through the glass wall of the cafe were reflecting on her face, which made her skin shine, and the pink tint on her cheeks made her look like a goddess.
She was so beautiful, and the way her hair was framing her face was mesmerizing, making his heart beat faster.
"Okay," Ember replied, and her head moved downward, not wanting her husband to see her flustered face.
Then, the couple fell into a comfortable silence, and the cafe’s environment resonated with the mood perfectly.
The sound of people talking and the sound of music playing in the background added more charm to the place.
There was also the smell of fresh tea and coffee, and the scent of pastries wafting through the air, which was making the atmosphere very pleasant.
However, the most important thing was that Nell and Ember were together, and they were having a good time, which was enough for them.
But, the blissful moment didn’t last long, as Nellas had to interrupt their date, because the man he was waiting for had finally arrived.
An old man with white hair and a thick beard had entered the cafe, and his eyes were looking around as if it were searching for someone.
However, after a while, his eyes landed on a specific person, who was sitting at a table near the corner of the cafe.
Then, his lips curled up into a smile, and he began to walk toward the man who had caught his attention.
’It is him,’
Nellas noticed the old man and kept watching him as he approached the corner of the cafe.
"Mr. Lester, the most mysterious person after me." The old man spoke after arriving in front of the man and greeted him with a smile.
Mr. Lester, who was sitting at the corner of the cafe, looked up when he heard his name, "Mr. Issac?"
His eyes landed on the old man and a surprised look appeared on his face, "You are the person with most of the dungeons under his control? An old man?"
Lester questioned and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes, as he watched the old man.
Issac chuckled upon hearing the question and shook his head, "You are right, Mr. Lester."
He said and his hand moved toward the chair next to him and pulled it out before sitting on it.
"I am Issac, an old man who owns almost all the dungeons on Earth,"
He spoke and his eyes were gleaming with excitement, "I own the largest collection of dungeons on this planet."
After speaking, Issac paused and raised his hand, before ordering the waiter, "One cup of Earl Grey, please."
Once he was done ordering, his attention was back on Lester, and he smiled, "So, what do you want from me, Mr. Lester?"
A smile blossomed on Lester’s face, and his gaze landed on the table.
"Hmm, straight to the point," He said and grabbed his cup, before bringing it to his lips and sipping the black liquid.
"I guess we don’t need to waste any time,"
After speaking, he placed the cup back on the table and looked at the old man, "Then, let’s get to the main topic, shall we?"
"Oh, I am all ears."
Issac smiled, and his posture relaxed, as he got comfortable on the chair.
"Then, allow me to tell you the reason why I asked you to meet me," Lester paused for a moment, and his fingers touched the handle of the cup.
"I want to sell some dungeons, and I want you to buy them from me."
"Sell? You want to sell some of your dungeons?"
At Lester’s words, Issac was surprised, as it was the first time someone was selling their dungeons to him.
All the people, who were currently controlling the dungeons on Earth, didn’t want to sell them, and Issac had to resort to force if he wanted them.
But, it was different with Lester, he was voluntarily selling them off.
"Yes, I am selling all of the dungeons I own. However, I need that thing which you own. The thing that can help me remove my identity, my existence, and make it disappear."
Lester’s words were clear, and his intentions were obvious.
"I want to vanish. To erase my identity and start a new life," He spoke and a smile bloomed on his face, "Can you do it, Mr. Issac?"
Upon hearing him, a smile surfaced on Issac’s face, and his eyes lit up, "Haha, of course, I can do it. All you have to do is give me your dungeons, and you can live a new life."
Issac’s reply was something that Lester was waiting for, and the man couldn’t help but smirk.
’This is it. Just wait for me, Rachel. I am coming for you.’
